Why not put everything in a single git repository?
The cost to clone that repo would be enormous. The kernel alone is 57M
once cloned, 44 megs across the wire.
Also git remote branches are quite painful, requiring non-obvious
changes to .git/config or hard to use commands. I'd rather do this
once (for an everything-in-one-repository model) than for every single
package I maintain.
Why would you have to do anything special? Our helper script can check
things out for you in a way that git pull/push/whatever does the right
thing by tracking the upstream branch. You shouldn't have to touch
your .git/config at all.
